7 'MuCeteend Mule HO! Mule-AH! The most important rule for any caravan was to keep moving.'' As the great wagon pilot, Marcus Whitman, once said: The one rule of the road that must never be broken is travel, travel, TRAVEL; nothing else will take you to the end of your journey; nothing is wise that does not help you along; nothing is good for you that causes a moment's delay. This constant travel, in spite of hunger and fatigue, In spite of broken wagons and lame animals, was performed by the muleteers or drivers, who, with bullwhips in hand, yelled Mule ho! Mule-ahl , as the long train moved Inexorably across the grassy plain. Likewise, our seniors—those traveling teamsters—have successfully forded the rivers of reason and avoided the quicksands of Quakerland in whipping all ob- stacles to the completion of their memorable journey over the treacherous terrain of Franklin’s frontier. 15
